Skier dies at Keystone after colliding with tree Sunday

Summit County authorities investigating the death provided no identity information other than indicating the skier was male.

Sheriff's deputies said they responded to a call shortly before 1 p.m. notifying them that a skier had hit a tree. "It was reported that CPR was in progress," according to a bulletin from the office of the Summit County sheriff.

Keystone's ski patrol members apparently transported the skier from a ski area mountainside to the Saint Anthony Keystone Medical Clinic. Health workers at the clinic pronounced him dead, the bulletin said.
